Hydrodynamics, the science of moving fluids, serves as the basis for designing fisheries improvements. Both numerical and physical modeling are used to represent environmental conditions. In numerical modeling, equations governing the fluid flow -velocity and pressure are the key parameters - are solved numerically to find steady-state or time-variant conditions. One-, two-, and three-dimensional models are all useful. In physical modeling, principles of scaling and similitude help establish the relationship between parameters in a physical model and those in the real world. This talk will show examples of each approach and discuss their applicability and limitations.
